The Scientist says: "One by one the instruments and processes of our fathers are being relegated to the domain of the antiquated. Now the churn must go. According to a French patent the passage of an electric current through the milk causes a rapid separation of the butter and renders churning unnecessary." Tbe New York teller who has just absconded with 1160,000 of the bank's money, according to the statement of one of the officers of the bank, was "the last person in the world whom anybody would have suspected of dishonesty." It is generally the unsuspected that gets away with the money. Without vaccination deaths

In the suit of Worley vs. the railroad company for killing males, the Judge ruled that as Worley and Phillips were partners the suit should have been brought by both. The case will come up again in the indicated shape. Some people prefer hot lemonade to tbe usual form, but it is only recently that we have seen it recommended in diarrhoea. Dr. Vigouroux recommends a glass of hot lemonade every hour or half hour, as an easy, agreeable and efficient treatment for diarrhoea. The cost of carrying a bushel of erain from Chicago to Now York by lake and canal was, in 1868, twenty-five cents, and by rail forty-two conU. In 1882 these figure were reduced to eight and fourteen cents respectively.

The Washington township (Hindostan) correspondent of the Martinsville Republican says : The boys of Washington township, Monroe county, which is in the Yazoo, met in Simpson's Chapel on Decoration Day, and decorated all the soldiers' graves there in a becoming manner; bnt on. looking around, the boys noticed that there was only two Democrats in attendance. At church at the same place last Sunday, a prominent Democrat, highly connected and well known throughout Monroe- and Morgan co. and one of the best house carpenters in the State, but unfortunately has a lame knee which prevented him from going to war, and was known to frequently halloo for Jeff Davis and the Southern Confederacy during the war, in
conversation remarked to the boys that he regarded this thing of decor
ating' the soldiers' graves as an wrong ; that it kept up the memories of the past and was calculated
to instill bad blood into the rising generation ; that he did not come to the decoration for that reason himself, nor did be allow his wife
(who had some very near and dear relatives buried there amcag the graves of the soldiers and she was desirous to h?lp decorate) to come.

Bail was played last Friday evening, between the Colored boys and Light-weights in University Park. The game was carefully played by both sides. The score at the end of the nine innings,was-9 to 9. The tenth inning was played, both sides

game is to be played again next

against the railroad company, to
